The Red Fox

Who was the last 3 x AA Ruckman? Wouldn’t be many...

I thought Salem was about our best..? 

So, do we start May forward next week??

We’re two wins behind 15th place. In an ideal world we win 5 of the last 9 and still get pick 3 or 4.

Cox will kick at least three. We should have played Preuss. None of our players can match up on this height except Maxy and he has other jobs to do.

So, you’re saying we should have played Preuss at full back!? ?

I cant believe how many people forgive and accept Petracca's faults. He is uncoachable. He cannot concentrate. He NEVER comes through when the going is tough,although trying hard, he is stupid and trying to do too much. He falls immediately to old bad habits.

I actually feel like Demonland, and the supporters, go pretty hard on him. I also think you’re going too hard on him...

I reckon a massive game looms for Petracca. Has been good for the last 6 weeks and if it were not for some poor finishing would have some big hauls. I can see him kicking 4-5 goals with some dominant stints on ball. He will relish the big crowd at the G. 

Yeah, want the best for Trac, but this just won’t happen. ?

And she’s drinking a beer! ??

T Mac to kick 7 this week.

Kicked 6 in the corresponding game last year. No reason he can't better that.

I’ll give you one reason... FORM!

A few options that intrigue me:

Burnley - https://goo.gl/maps/fnW5movNEZMy3MqB6

Elwood Reserve - https://goo.gl/maps/dkgUZGk6qJZSyRCD9

Dendy Park - https://goo.gl/maps/vf5H2nXPjPVbqT9dA (looks very underutilised!)

Win and we’re only out of the 8 on percentage. ?

            Wise

then we could justify calling our team a bloody joke.

Yeah, I could play CHF!

Junction Oval looking okay about now... ??

Our forward ground ball gets were the best they’ve been against the Hawks with only two genuine talls up there.

I think it’s unlikely they’re playing Preuss and Keilty in the same side up forward due to this, however GC has 4 tall defenders (Murdoch, Joyce, Collins and Hombsch) so having Preuss in there as well may work.

If they go with that, then I’d say:

Ins: Preuss

Out: Fritsch 

If they go in with 4 tall defenders, we should go small...

I think you’ll find it was originally pushed by the clubs dietician/nutriotionist for the whole playing group, and then Viney decided he had noticed the benefits to the point that he continued doing it off his own bat, with their consultation.

Any concerns would be coming from a position of ignorance.

Not so concerned with where he's at right now, but why has he gone from carb loading to 5/2 (both which didn't work for him) to 8/16 all while under the watch of the club?

Where's the guidance from the club dietitian while he's messing around with fad eating routines? This is actually concerning...

OUT: Frost, ANB, TMac (until he’s over mystery injury)

IN: Keilty, Preuss, Stretch, May (for OMac if fit)

Can I have a code, please? I think I was called Squad Goals last year.

Thanks.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Captain and games record holder of Demonland’s footy team that dominated in the 2000’s up there! ??

That said, here's my big call - James Jordon might be the best kick on the list. He's balanced, has a simple action and has lovely penetration and shape on his kicks.

I’d go so far as to say he’s the best kick on the list since James Strauss.

Might have been 'very hard to deal with... the speculation that came with his contract renewal every season or so'.

Also, in regards to who replaces the goals kicked by Hogan, yes, Weideman, Melksham etc, but the guy who many are overlooking is one, Christian Petracca.

He had a pretty consistent season and matched De Goey's stats without having a breakout game, yet journalists are frothing over De Goey. Petracca is the one for us. If he kicks into gear next season, which feels likely, we're going to be incredibly difficult to beat, providing our midfield can maintain its consistency.

De Goey 2.3 goals a game. Trac 0.8...

Jake Carlisle spewing on him would be icing on the cake really. 

Classic. Remind us who it was again? 

How has he not been playing???

”My favourite ruck man against my least favourite team mate.” - Max Gawn

So he’s already got the big #11’s stamp of approval.

And at 23, he’s the PERFECT age.

Highest percentage this deep into a season since 1964.

Spot on. Two staggering selections and two games arguably lost at the selection table...
